BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Former Wallaby winger Ben Tune has told of his suicide attempt from a drug overdose in 2009 that ultimately turned his life around and helped him overcome chronic depression.

Tune, a member of the 1999 Wallabies team that won the Rugby World Cup, came forward last week after the recent suicide deaths of three National Rugby League-contracted players.

The Sunday Mail in Brisbane said when Tune, who retired in 2007, heard of the death of young North Queensland Cowboys hooker Alex Elisala last month, he contacted the newspaper wanting to tell his story.

Tune, 36, wrote that "four years ago, almost to the day, I sat alone in my apartment and decided to end my life. It was a decision that ultimately made me a better man."

Police in suburban Cleveland say they're pursuing charges against five customers of a Chuck E. Cheese's after employees were attacked when a manager didn't respond quickly enough to a complaint about a malfunctioning photo booth.

A video allegedly found at the crash site of Germanwings Flight 9525 captures the terrifying moments inside the passenger jet before it slammed into a mountain in the French Alps, two media outlets reported Tuesday.
